The laws enacted in 1968 are largely responsible for my hearing loss.
It would cost $5 to make a suppressor, if I had to buy materials. I could make a bunch from the junk pile.
But the Feral Gooberment doesn't allow that, and I follow the rules.
One of the things I want in the new Constitution is an IRON-CLAD rule against government making rules about firearms.

My dad could have used a suppressor. He was the port 5" gunnery officer on the Iowa in 1952. He had the misfortune to be forward of the muzzle plane when a round was fired. Growing up, I was never certain whether he had real hearing loss or was mocking me when he claimed not to understand something I said.
